Automatic cattle waterers and gravity-fed troughs serve the pastures, while a partially covered corral and working area includes a loading chute and head gate. A fenced orchard with apple, pear, cherry, and peach trees and a protected VEGO raised-bed vegetable garden add to the property's agricultural capabilities.
